Investing in the U.S. or other Jurisdictions
Whether you are an investor looking to purchase real estate in the United States, or you would like to invest in other assets in offshore jurisdictions, we can assist you. You will ultimately need a bank account and a business in the jurisdiction that you are looking to invest. We can seamlessly form these entities for you. Once complete, only have have control and access to your newly formed company and bank account. We have the proper Nominees and Registered Agents for you to legally invest and do business in the United States and many other Offshore Jurisdictions.

Asset Protection
Any individual or a business looking to protect assets while maintaining absolute privacy, should consider a Shielded Offshore Company as a premier strategy in asset protection. Just to reiterate, only you have full control and access to any enity, trust, or bank account that is formed for you.

Land Trusts
The most important benefit for one's real estate investments will be from Land Trusts. This is done for privacy protection and to reduce your liability from having holdings in your personal name. For investment properties, once the Trust is formed, the beneficial ownership of the Trust would go to a LLC (limited liability company). The LLC is what will give you the Asset Protection. This is especially important if you have multiple real estate holdings and have equity in the properties.

Offshore Company Formation

The use of offshore companies have been around and utilized for many years. You will find that many large corporations use an offshore business strategy within their company's structure. These same business strategies are available to you.
Forming offshore companies in select jurisdictions have advantageous laws for imparting a solid foundation for investing, expanding business presence, asset protection, privacy, risk management, and cost reduction. The U.S., Canada, and U.K. have laws vastly different than the laws and regulations in other select offshore jurisdictions. Such examples are privacy of ownership, officers and directors, and non-recognition of foreign judgments.
Depending on the type of offshore entity formed, your offshore company will be able to own offshore bank accounts, investment accounts, real estate, and other precious assets.

More importantly, the ownership of the offshore company is kept anonymous.

Holding assets in select offshore banks is done in order to benefit from strong Bank Secrecy and Protection Laws. These Bank secrecy laws are strongly enforced. Ultimately, we will structure your assets to be held by the offshore company we have formed for you. You can see how this dynamic coupling is one of the strongest forms of asset protection.

You are able to access your assets immediately and only you have full control over them. As we have have discussed before, the banks we deal with are under stricter financial regulations than banks that are in the U.S. The bottom line is, the financial stability of the offshore banking institution will not be a concern.
With your offshore company and bank account formed, you now have taken the necessary steps to shield your wealth and/or business.

Asset Protection & Land Trusts

Whether you are an individual, or a business looking to protect your wealth while maintaining your privacy, a Shielded Offshore Company is the premier strategy. This form of wealth protection has been around since the 1970's, and it wasn't until the 1990's that it started to become more of a conventional plan. Unfortunately, people have taken an abusive approach to the favorable laws that these offshore jurisdictions provide. This exploitation, along with movies, and books glamorizing drug lords holding offshore accounts, are the cause for many offshore banking myths.

The fact is, there are definitive laws and regulations in place when forming and operating an international business and banking offshore. This is no different than abiding by the laws when doing business in your home jurisdiction. These regulatory differences in political, financial, business, tax, and privacy laws are what allow international trade and commerce to thrive. As long as you are working with a professional and experienced offshore services company like Secure Offshore Banking, you can set your mind at ease. The first step in Asset Protection is forming your offshore company. Once this is set-up, we will have your actual assets held in another jurisdiction, also known as an offshore bank. With privacy and confidentiality being of utmost importance, your anonymous offshore company will actually have ownership of your bank account.

Protecting your Personal & Business Cash
For your non real estate assets (cash), the best protection would be to utilize a Nevis LLC and Cook Islands Trust. This works similarly to the Land Trust. The Nevis LLC allows you to manage and control your assets as you normally would. The benefit is, if any legal duress were to arise and your assets were at risk, the Cook Islands Trustee will step in the management position of the Nevis LLC, giving the impossibility to act in the release of funds from your account, thus keeping your money protected. The Cook Islands Trustee's we deal with are licensed and bonded (meaning: the assets they are protecting are insured). Trustees have the sole fiduciary responsibility and purpose to protect your assets.

Land Trusts
A useful way to manage the bundle of rights involved in real estate ownership is through Land Trusts. Important benefits include privacy protection and reducing your liability by not having holdings in your personal name.

Other Land Trust benefits:
Avoid Probate & Reduce Taxes - Transfer of ownership can be designated seamlessly if your property is held in a land trust. The successors you designate will be able to avoid the cost and time consuming probate proceedings.
Liens and Judgments - When a property is held in a land trust, legal matters such as judgments and liens affecting the beneficiaries do not pass through to the subject property. The trust document is NOT public record, so it makes it that much more difficult to seek out your real estate holdings.

U.S. Bank Accounts for Non-U.S. Residents

If you are located outside the United States and are looking to invest, form a company, and hold a bank account in the U.S., we can professionally and efficiently provide this service. This is a very seamless process and we can set this up for you in an expedient manner.

Once we form your business entity, we can immediately set-up your bank account. Unlike other offshore service providers, we work directly with the bank and DO NOT use any third party merchant. We guarantee our service.

A U.S. Company and Bank Account is essential if you plan on investing or doing business in the U.S. as a non-resident
